Job description
Role Context
In recent years the Rent Recovery function has had to respond to the significant challenges of a changing environment and customer base. Welfare reform, in particular the introduction of the Benefit Cap in 2013, the Spare Room Subsidy and the roll out of Universal Credit in 2017and the Benefit Cap of 2013, and the Spare Room Subsidy, have caused rent arrears to increase. This has been compounded by a lack of affordable housing within the housing market coupled with the acute problem in Redbridge which has the second lowest social housing stock of all London Local Authorities. In addition, the Redbridge customer base is presenting with greater vulnerabilities and complex needs. The 1st Stage Rent Recovery team functions within this context of high-volume rent arrears.
